DeTribaliZation

 

   Please pardon my absence....

detribalization

Concentric Effort

Three Phases of Play

Rose Hips

Nostradamus prescribed them during the Black Plague

{he advocated good sanitation too}

P R O T E C T

 

Train 108

 disembark

  the loop train

space, time on railroad tankers

though filings of smoke

form our defiant souls.

& holding sweaty hands

 on the back ladder wheels

loud engines tug

 blare by gaits pulsing blood

damn they never head

halting empty air

and all at light speed.

 

:::

 

It occured to me... at our most honest inner cores, one of our greatest fears, perhaps arguably the root fear to those only masquerading as the root fear...

A fear of...  well, more of a yearning than fear...  a longing to...

b e l o n g

[the fear: Dying alone]

 

If I may propose for your review.... a new word, or at least a new connotation... that is, intent... for an existing word...

TribaliZation

from the dictionary

 "the union of opposing factions"

I say...

"

for all the masses that willingly submit
the process by which
those previously ensconced from their tribe
undergo the sudden, unexpected
revival, that is...
a reunification of the individual
with their tribe.
 
....or.... TribaliZation (n)
 
or, more simply.... Purpose.

Defiant

the defiant tribalized

 

Do I dare argue, yes!... we began this journey previously living amongst the other, or at least something like a lake of our ancestral souls

taal_filtered

And for us in Viroqua, of Southwest Wisconsin... A tribe removed from civilization, glacial tilling (inclusive of those to come!), with little proximity to plutocracy....  for twelve thousand passionate years. 

   And furthermore... the make up of these spindrills of super-stringy energy governed by divine geometry.... frequency if you will.... or as I prefer... song....    i will proclaim, this web of all ..that ...is permanent of us.... our soul and our song... and that of it's tribes.... This entity of entities (the neuronal network of the mind of God, if you will) cannot be understood without including the cool Mother Earth underfoot... and specifically... under your feet.   ...there ....where you are brothers and sisters...   Tribe is.... the super string energy of self, brothers, sisters, God, and Earth.

Those previously taken from their tribe
rise and allow the sudden and unexpected
revival....  Jesus.... reunify with your tribe!
 
Joining with your 'tribe' (again) = tribalization = purpose
 
connect with your tribe...
...free from the root of all fear
dying alone
for once we return to each other
you certainly will not die alone.
and more importantly you assure the longevity
  of all that is permanent of you.
....what purpose could supercede this?
 
Joining with your 'tribe' (again) is.... tribalization....  tribalization is purpose
 
 
:::
 
Note: for the detail oriented: TribaliSation verses tribaliZation.... how curious.  Some dictionaries have one of these words listed, some have both! and some neither.  Fascinating.  Last night, I filed the U.S. trademark application for the word (new or otherwise) TribaliZation.

The Going Under
 
out my train window
I ponder our forward motion...
There is a proverb...
   if you can't go over, than you
must
go under...
I say, that is where the door will be
to the one wisdom
the knowing and the being

Strangers on a Train
 
We all met on the Chicago to Manhattan train about 3am... a rag-tag collection of souls, commendeering the deserted club car.... somehow each comforted by the sway and rumble, the dark impatient landscapes, the laughter and communion.
 
He was a down-and-out musician traveling to find himself and his new band... she was taking on the Bronx, the fair girl from Green Bay... making pottery and designing spectacular leather coats.
 
Here, they shared an innocent slumber... temporary dream partners aboard the Mystic Express.
And as for us... we were on yet another ice cream adventure.

Manhattan NYC: We asked for something sweet.. he growled they were sweetless... then poured of the top shelf....  (we poured out our wallets!)
 
The clandestine top shelf lodge, near Central Park, near what was called "Hell's Kitchen"... no neon sign, bleak cement facade, not even a door man, but yes... a few limos.... the urban holiday for the anonymous celeb. 
 
It begins with a steep escalator ascent in neon yellow and a subdued chill groove.  As you scale the crest, the music crescendos and you and your party spill into a vaulted lobby with (fake) plastic ivy and light only in pods, cast upon the anonymous celebs.

The day began with a short shift until noon.... The evening began with some sibling bonding along with some friends.... unfolding into a search for my other sister... the energy led us to the Common Ground jazz jam (where a collaborator and i planned a film festival and guild).... then onto a crazy other dimensional in a Main Street apartment hive of fascinating Bohemians... mixing it up with poker, hallways, intoxicants and cultural incongruities... an evolution of the tribe, before our eyes... evolving our souls... our eyes... and even our poker.

Patiently they wait....
 We made another trip to the Amish family who makes our candy.  We sell it in the public market we rehabbed and operate...  She makes, literally, the best cashew crunch we've ever had.
I enjoy our visits with her.... we quickly transcend culture and religion, becoming simple, humble humans... basking in her confectionery delight.

Arboreal Fellow
 
We, Illuminated by Spirit, ahead upon strangely featureless byways the amber glow of Sparta, did backlite our arboreal fellow traveler within the breathing fibrils... a map of ancestors and self... After sitting momentarily, reminded of love and entropy, we proceeded East without destination, and still Illuminated by Spirit.
 
 
 
 
Are you with your tribe?
 
 
be blessed

I always learn something when I read your posts. I've missed them.


You know, I've heard that red wine does cause that... perhaps that's the problem. So I can't get drunk or hungover. Hmm. Something must be wrong with me.

I've got pictures of the buffalo coming up next- some people don't believe they exist in America anymore. How sad that Americans forget so quickly...

Missed is an overused word in here, I see.

I never noticed the Fibonacci relevance. I'm not THAT paranoid. ;) I do want to see the movie though. I despise math, but codes fascinate me.

Welcome return to you, Tony. I'm all about words and tribalization is one I heartily embrace. Imagine if we all found, and connected to, our tribes...

Welcome back, Tony.

You know, looking at the train shots reminded me of the northeast and the times I took the train to New England, Philly, Jersey... Gosh, my heart yearns for the Northeast.

i love the cluster of rose hips!
and i love 'strangers on the train'.... and why I especially like it, is because of "how" I assume you took the photo (i.e. without them knowing).  They are out there somewhere and do not realize that moment you have captured of them is out there and beautiful and appreciated. Then it makes you wonder whether someone other there also took the time to do the same to you...  You could be a piece of art in someone's portfolio and you'll never know.

I'm glad you're back! never go away again! =)

Disembark is one of my favorites---they are all my favorites in one way or another though-such a nice mini vacation for me.  You should think of framing any number of these for sale.  Your trip to New York looks as fun as you described...I want to go next time!!  L

I usually visit at least twice, soaking in the beauty and intenseness of your photos, before commenting.  This is no exception.  So much is said in this post, it deserves more than a once over. 

I share the Greatest Fear, but not the purpose of tribaliZation.  I've always been a loner, without a tribe.....perhaps this is why the Fear is so immense.

"Lone window"  That's where I'll be.

Thank You for yet another fantastic interlude.
